The grass underneath her legs was being stepped on furiously from the girl running for her life. She was in a white sleeping gown, which seemed to be in a pretty bad condition, it was bloodied and dirtied in some places, somewhere even slightly ripped. She had cuts and bruises all over her body, and most probably was in a rush as she was barefoot. The forest seemed to have no end, projecting more difficulties such as branches and uneven grounds on her path, many times making her almost trip and fall down.

Just as the injured girl had caught light somewhere in the distance, she sped her pace making sure to get there as fast as she could, she fell to the ground once her skin was met with a sunny field, it looked gorgeous surrounded by all kinds of greens, rich with vegetation. There was a huge black house standing in the middle, the smell around here made it rather comforting for Fay to let her guard down enough before falling to her knees. Her voice wouldn't be heard among the happiness around here, her body felt too weak to shout. She must've been noticed by someone, feeling small hands on her, the last sense of life before shutting down.

The light lashed from the window, without mercy it burned her eyes, forcing her to shift in her slumber. The faint noises could be heard before brunnetes body decided that it had rested enough.

Once Fay had woken up she was met with another pair of eyes staring right at her, they didn't look judging, rather concerned which made her confused. It was a matter of time before the blonde girl acknowledged that she had woken up and started calling for someone to let them know that the stranger has awoken.

—15 hours and 58 minutes.—The woman that entered the room was dressed in black standing, tall and sure of her calculations.

—I'd love to ask you more questions but its nearly time for supper, I hope you'll be in a good state to join us.—She said before instructing to the blonde beside her to get her clean and steady. Once she made sure that everything was understood she glanced at her watch one last time before rushing downstairs.

—It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Emma. I hope you're feeling good after whatever has happened to you, I'll lend you one of my dresses to look presentable if you'd like.—
She was playing with her fingers, visibly nervous, which made Aeris want to say something to let her know that its okay. She opened her mouth to get something out but only managed to let out a squeak before coughing violently.

—I think it would be better for you to keep quiet for now, your vocal cords probably need some time to heal.—Emma stood up from her chair helping the brunette steady.
—Let's get you clean before you meet everybody, shouldn't we?—The emotion on Aerises face changed to calmness letting the strange woman take care of her.

«Nouctuary» - seems she couldn't get a hold of last night events no matter how much she'd want to. Dressed in a white dress after having her injuries treated, Aeris was sitting by a small girl at the dinner table. The people around her looked rather «Peculiar» to her sight. Everything from their looks to their manners creeped her out. Trying best to hide the anxiety creepling inside of her she dug into the food letting herself enjoy a first real meal in a while.

—So, tell me dear, what brings you here?
Making her best to process and put the words together forming a sentence Fay quietly started making sounds.

—I believe I was followed Ma'am, the place that I came from....it's scary, but not as frightening as the monster that broke in. Mass murdering everything on it's path.—She was looking at her plate that seemed almost clean, wishing to excuse herself for the night. The table filled with whispering, but not one dared to speak out loud, asking her more questions.

—Very well then, I can see how worried you are, you might as well rest in your room for now.—Her lips sealed in a smile giving Aeris a sence of comfort.

She slowly stood up from her chair, still in a bad condition making her look almost disabled, her legs started to carefully move leading her upstairs, where she layed on the bed, inhaling the smell of fresh sheets.

After sleeping for so long the girl couldn't seem to close her eyes. Aeris spent the rest of the night drawing, up until early morning. The birds started to chirp softly by her window which was wide open, letting the air in seemed like a good decision to start the day, brunette enjoyed the time scribbling in her notebook, when she was interrupted by a knock.

Putting her pencil away, she hid the notebook under the pillow before walking to unlock the door. Once the piece of wood separating two figures disappeared, Fay was met by a cold gaze. He seemed really tall, making him seemingly larger than the woman from before.

—I've been told to call you for breakfast.

—I'll be there in a minute.—But the guy left before even hearing her reply, slightly mad at the fact that it had to be him. He was murmuring, but she couldn't seem to get a hold of what he was saying, she put her hand to her forehead slipping the bandage off, revealing a pretty weird detail.

Closing the other two she opened the white eye as she looked at the boy one last time revealing the aura around him, trying to find the reason of his distress. Annoyance, definitely from having to come up and talk to her, anger lashing out of him due to her presence. Feeling, that made her face form a sad smile not exactly expecting to be treated harshly by the peculiar «not as welcome as I thought». But she was sure that Fay would have to leave soon, sooner before they could find her.
